Problem: Air pollution is a silent health crisis in modern cities. Every day, millions of people breathe toxic air that contributes to asthma, lung disease, and reduced quality of life. Current solutions—masks, home air purifiers, or city-wide green projects—are either uncomfortable, expensive, or not accessible to the people who need them most, like commuters, vendors, and children in outdoor spaces.
Gap in current solutions: Air purifiers only work indoors, masks feel suffocating, and large public filtration systems are too costly to scale. There is no simple way for people to take short, pollution-free breaks in the middle of their daily routines.
My Solution – Urban Air Quality Pods (UAQ Pods): Compact, solar-powered transparent pods placed in high-pollution zones such as bus stops, markets, and traffic signals. Each pod fits 2–4 people and provides purified, safe air using HEPA filters, activated carbon, and UV-C sterilization. Think of them as mini oxygen lounges, open for public use.
Who benefits:
Commuters exposed to traffic emissions
Street vendors spending hours outside
Children, elderly, and asthma patients most vulnerable to poor air
The community at large, through raised awareness and reduced health costs
Why this matters to me: I’ve seen how pollution worsens asthma and breathing problems in family and friends. Breathing clean air shouldn’t be a privilege—it should be a basic right.
